Why Impressions for BOTOX? How Does It Work?

Because BOTOX is simply a relaxant that is placed directly into the muscle it starts acting instantly. All muscles are controlled by nerve endings that receive signals from the brain. BOTOX Cosmetic prohibits these nerve endings from delivering their signal to the muscle fibers. The muscles, therefore, don’t respond and the skin covering the muscle stays smooth.It may take several injections to achieve your desired effect. If your facial lines are deep-set, more BOTOX may be required. If your wrinkles cover a large area (your forehead, for example), there will probably be several injection sites.

What Can I Expect During My Treatment?

Our Aesthetic Nurse is certified to provide BOTOX treatments. These treatments are administered through a very tiny needle. BOTOX anesthetizes the wrinkle-causing muscle relaxing your facial lines.This process lasts approximately ten minutes. You will be left with fewer lines and a couple of minor bumps or redness that lasts only a few minutes.

How Long Does BOTOX Cosmetic Last?

The paralyzing effects of BOTOX generally last a 3 to 5 months. You may notice the effects fading near the end of the third or fourth month. This is normal. We recommend several consistent treatments. If you follow this regimen, you can expect longer lasting results. Over the course of long term therapy, BOTOX Cosmetic boasts extended relief.
